Police officers have two main jobs. They help keep people safe and they protect people's property
(财产). They do these things in many ways. They answer calls for help. Some may direct traffic. Others
try to find out how an accident happened. They try to catch criminals(罪犯). Police officers are the people whom we turn to for help when we feel unsafe. They are the people we call when we have problems.
Being a police officer is not easy. The work is tiring and dangerous. They often fight with some bad
people. Sometimes those bad people carry knives or guns. They can hurt or even kill the police.
Besides answering calls, the police also help people find out missing persons. They will do all they
can to find the persons. Also, when the police see a speeding car, they will stop it. If they do not, the
driver of the speeding car may have an accident and hurt other people. When the police see a person
trying to break into a house, they will stop and question the person. If they do not, the person may steal
things from the house.
Some police officers patrol (巡逻) in cars or on motorbikes. Some patrol on foot, especially in parks or busy streets. Others even use boats. Most of them have received special training to do with sudden or
special accidents.
With the police, our lives can keep peaceful and safe.
